Filming with peak professional equipment! (To me at least...)

 Well by this time I (and I hope others as well) enjoyed a good meal with my family and for me got around to filming a couple of sections of the music video. So overall for filming I wanted shots to be as still as possible to get the shots the way I want them for when I edit it together. And for this, I made use of the tool that I created for my previous project. But overall, it is possible to see the small cuts from each of the moments which makes it look shakey. So! I purchased a tripod which let put my phone (video taking tool of choice as of this time) in one spot to take a shot or multiple in an orientation I need which makes some things easier. So with it, I was able to get some of the shots I needed (and dropped the drone idea) and it was actually kinda fun to bring it around and just put it down in places. While filming each time I take a shot I have to run back and make sure that the results were satisfactory. This became a bit of a bother but regardless I recorded the scenes 1-by-1. The scene that took a bit was the filming for the intro part of the video (the first 4 parts of the storyboard). I had to make sure that the angle was good and I had to re-record the movements multiple times. After that, the other scenes were mostly made up of me walking in some direction or doing a type of motion. I did not manage to film it all so there are still a few more scenes left to film which will then be sent to the editing side. All in all, I enjoyed getting a nice walk outside getting some fresh air but the retakes make it a real workout. And going on from this some shots that I decided to add were small close-up moments to make some transitions flow better. This would also allow me to experiment more when I get to editing because it has some neat features that I want to maybe test out. With it coming together for 1 minute each of the intro shots in full was about 20 seconds which definitely tells me that there will be a lot to cut down. And with cutting the video I'll have to be as accurate as possible to align with the music so that it won't feel disconcerting. The last thing I decided was to film certain scenes at different times in order to get certain feelings across. And so I recorded my phone alarm going off in the morning to get the" just woke up early in the morning" feel. I may also get screenshots from my phone so that messages can be seen better because it's hard recording just the screen while walking. The last note is the fact that I am acting in it (well the person walking around but acting nonetheless).


The amount of professionalism that this item proliferates is astonishing!

 So the editing was interesting. It mostly consisted of more cutting than I would want to deal with. Some, honestly all, of the clips, had to be trimmed down. This was the majority of what I have been doing. Even though I was mainly trimming shots, I was able to find some moments where I could have some fun. The shots to be honest took way more time to trim and edit because I wanted the shots to match with the music so it was imperative that I make sure to properly cut the shots. When I got the music that I was going to use I had to cut it to match the required length of the entire video. But, I couldn't do it at the start because I didn't know how much the film would take. So most of the editing consisted of getting the actual film to go by as smoothly as possible. While at the same time cutting out as much as possible to shorten the length to one minute. Overall the process was similar to the others but this time I had more chances to mess with transitions. Davinci Resolve ha

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 Now for my storyboard, the average length of each scene would take around 5 seconds each to come together to make 12 pictures and descriptions to encompass the plan shown by the storyboard. Scene 1 In this scene, it starts out with a mid-shot with several many short shots of the actor getting out of bed. In this shot, the camera mustn't move so it will be recorded as one long shot and cut into shots less than 5 seconds. This sequence will go in time with the music that will be playing. This will come up to about 12 shots being used in the first 5 or so seconds and then a while also being a short shot it would be much longer and have a pan to a door exiting the room. I feel like including an easter egg or something like that in it as something random to give a light and funny feeling in the beginning. Scene 2 The second shot would also be a wide shot that is composed of multiple clips. In these shots, it will show a different part of the same room but in these shots, it will be the

Storyboard for my 8BitDo SN30Pro+ Controller commercial

Image
 YO MAN HOW CAN YOU POST THIS LA- Sorry for being off schedule! A certain person forgot to post the blog but luckily with the power of overtime the commercial will be on schedule! Scenes 1. In this scene we start with a shot that views the monitor, keyboard, and the hands of a player (me). The player then starts up a game but struggles because he is using a keyboard (applicable in some situations). The shot would be from a medium distance to give a good view of the keyboard the screen is not the main point but it would be a good idea to play an actual game that works better with a controller rather than a keyboard. 2. In this scene the person has lost the game and is then very sad the camera would then zoom in on the monitor with a slow panning motion to emphasize the cause of this very depressing event. And along with this if possible the shot to be split with another on the keyboard to show that there is a relation between the loss and keyboard. 3. In this scene the camera makes a cu
